Russia is absolutely not my friend.
- germans, 1945
And if Russia falls it strengthens your enemy at home. An independent shitty Russia is closer to proletarian revolution than a US dominated Russia, and that is what would happen if the US defeated Russia.

Maybe it's just my narrow perception but, it seems to me that most of the class war illustrations are old. I know the class war has been going on forever but, why aren't more modern illustrations as popular?

Anyone have a high res version of original pic?
You can put the low quality image into Google lens to find higher quality ones :)
Ehh these highly nationalist states def aint my friend. Yes all bourgeoisie should be supressed globally.
China is Socialist, so it already suppresses the bourgeoisie. Russia and Iran are nationalist, but this nationalism also puts them at odds with western Imperialism and towards countries like China. Aligning with the Western bourgeoisie against Russia and Iran weakens the chance of them becoming Socialist, as it would likely result in an opening of their markets to foreign plunder and perpetuation of Imperialism. On the other hand, by siding against Western Imperialism, they become more integrated into the Chinese side of the global economy, pushing them towards Socialism.
I wouldn't say Russia and Iran are friends, they certainly aren't Socialist by any stretch, but they can be depended on insofar as they work against the system by which the West collectively loots and plunders the Global South, depressing its development.
